We are committed to refurbishing Northwich Library. We recognise its value as a service to the people of Northwich and the sense of pride the building itself brings to people who live in the town. A project is underway to repair and refurbish the building and transform the services on offer to residents. It is intended to improve and develop the building to ensure it is robust and resilient for future generations.
Recognising the importance of the building and services it delivers, the Council has committed significant capital funding to its renovation. We’re delighted that this has been supplemented, following a successful bid, by external funding from The Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s Libraries Improvement Fund which is administered by Arts Council England.
Temporary Library Service
Northwich Library opened in its temporary location at Weaver Hall Museum on Monday 30 January 2023, while the library building on Witton Street is being renovated.
The temporary library features a curated collection of the latest fiction and non-fiction titles for adults and children, internet access via public computers and free Wi-Fi, plus a range of events, activities and groups.
Weaver Hall Museum is walkable from the existing library building in approximately 15 minutes, either through the town or along the River Dane through Chinkers Field. It also offers free parking.
